What does NOS mean?
NOS comes from the English (“New Old Stock”) and literally means “new old stock”. These are original parts that have spent years or even decades in the warehouses of agencies, workshops, restoration companies and dealers, as well as in private ownership. That’s what the “Old” in the name stands for – and then what is “New”? NOS parts are unused, i.e. they have not yet been used or installed. For high-quality restorations, NOS spare parts are the non plus ultra.
An online store with NOS spare parts?
Yes exactly, or – let’s stay honest – mainly with NOS spare parts. MB NOS Parts also has refurbished (e.g. re-chromed), remanufactured (repro) and very good used parts on offer. Especially with rare or very early model series, it is very difficult to find NOS parts, and if you do, they are almost priceless.
MB NOS Parts has set itself the task of collecting unique parts and rarities for your Mercedes-Benz classics. Many are even still in their original packaging (OVP), which adds to the charm of these treasures. In the store you will find all items clearly and unambiguously marked: NOS, Repro, used, OVP yes/no.
What else should I know?
Although the quality of NOS spare parts is generally not surpassed by aftermarket products and reproductions, you should be aware of the following: NOS parts are not comparable to newly manufactured parts. They have been in storage for a long time and may have accumulated dust, be slightly dirty or show so-called “storage marks”, such as minor scratches or light surface rust. This is not unusual considering the age of the parts. If an item has any additional or significant characteristics, these will be stated in the product description. This information is not intended to cause any concern – quite the opposite. Providing comprehensive information and being transparent are very important to us.
So, and now have fun browsing the Store!
Sincerely, Yours
